Lemon Syrup Pudding: Cook From The Heart

When I asked Alida which recipe she considers her favourite in her new recipe book Cook From The Heart she told me that she had three favourites. These are her recipes for gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream (page 77), cheese stuffed arancini (page 222) and this lemon syrup pudding (page 62). In preparation for reviewing the recipe book I wanted to make a recipe that would be good enough to be on the cover. Alida describes this recipe as ‘edible sunshine’ and she is not wrong. I made the lemon syrup pudding in the middle of summer but chose a coldish day so that we could enjoy it warm. We also enjoyed it the following day straight out of the fridge! Given that my readers come from many countries, and that a tablespoon measure is not the same in South Africa as it is in Australia, I prefer using grams and millilitres in my recipes. I have given the recipe here using my measurements. I also used half the water and sugar quantities for the syrup that Alida did. I had run out of fructose and that was all I had left in my container. However, it was more than enough. As I had used 1 lemon, which is the same as the recipe book, the result was a serious lemon taste! I loved that it came out of the oven with such a crispy top.

Disclosure: I was sent the book to review by Penguin Books South Africa. This recipe forms part of the review that I will be doing and is published with permission. This post is in line with my blogging policy.

Oh YUM! You’ve just made me crave lemon pudding and I just ate. I’ve got to make it over the weekend. I make a similar lemon tart, though it’s gluten-free (a mix of chickpea and gf flour). But mine doesn’t turn out the way yours does – lovely! 😉
